A fair value now, it won't reach BANGER at any price.
$0.52/hr over the 5.8h main story, $0.25/hr if you 100% it (12.1h).
Better value than 90% of Strategy games
Howl is a turn-based tactical folktale set in medieval times. A sinister "howling plague" has ravaged the land, turning all who hear it into feral beasts. You play a deaf heroine plunging into danger in search of a cure.
